Goodness gracious. Great balls of combustible space debris made quite a show on the east coast for the second night in a row.

A bright fireball streaked across the sky over Nova Scotia this morning, visible to those in Halifax who happened to be awake before the sun rose. NovaScotaWebcams.com’s camera at Bishops Landing on the Halifax harbourfront captured the moment around 5:17 a.m. Wednesday morning.

There were also reports of a suspected meteor over Toronto late Tuesday night. Several witnesses on Twitter and Reddit described a bright green-tinged light in the sky around 10:25 p.m.

Anyone else just see that bad boy shooting star over #Toronto?! Meteor? Space debris? Never seen anything that bright or green.

From the sounds of it, an event over the Maritimes early Tuesday was even more spectacular.

Rick Parker, who lives along Mattatall Lake near Wentworth, N.S., told the Canadian Press he saw a bright flash in the sky shortly after waking up around 5 a.m.

“The sky just lit up,” said Parker. “What I saw was almost like a ball of fire.”

Reports of the flash have come in from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Quebec. Video shot in Pointe-Sapin, N.B. and shared on Facebook shows several flashes lighting up the sky for a few moments before the presumed meteor disappears beyond the horizon.

A Nova Scotia webcam also captured the fireball at 5:04 a.m. on Tuesday.

Bright meteors are actually more common than one might think. According to the American Meteor Society, several thousand meteors bright enough to be called “fireballs” enter into Earth’s atmosphere everyday. Although we may notice the ones that light up the sky over populated areas at night, many more are obscured by daylight or fall over oceans and remote areas.

“Fireballs” are classed as meteors that burn brighter than Venus to observers on Earth.
